Death Does Not Miss
As I was driving on the highway last week, I was making a shift to the left lane. My speed at the time was maybe about 60-65 Mph , as I glanced to my mirror after I made the shift. I noticed a car approaching from behind but for some reason it was not slowing down. This car in seconds was exactly behind me. My guess that the speed of the car was 90-120Mph. After 30 seconds I realized that this young man is not able to stop, he was for sure going to hit my car . I am all the way to the left , there is no space for me to move to the middle lane , that was it. Subhan Allah, I felt like I was in one of the slow motion movie scenes, I don't remember how it happened but I remember moving away just a little , for seconds the car was parallel to mine and I can see the driver pushing the breaks, I can see his fear of what is yet to come. This car goes to hit at least three cars in front of me then it did a 360 and stopped in the middle of the road. My car wasn't even touched. This whole time , my speed remained at around 55MPh and I was as calm as can be. All I kept thinking about afterwards was that car was suppose to hit me. How was able to move? How was I able to keep my calm ? How was able to avoid this whole accident? Then it hit me it was never my destiny , it was never written for me. Death was close but it was not after me. I am sure that there were injuries, I still remember one of the passenger's faces after the accident, I stopped for a few moments but quickly realized I am still on a highway and in fear of blocking the way or causing another accident I left without checking on the passengers in the rest of the cars. This happens to many of us , where we are faced with something that makes us feel like we are very close to death. In reality death wasn't after you this time. The protection and the guidance from Allah swt is what helps us in those situations. Maybe these incidents happen so that we are reminded . Nothing I did saved me from this accident, realistically this car would have hit me with full speed and only Allah knows what would have been the outcome of that, but it was just not written for me and with Allah's protection I walked out with just a reminder. Death does not miss , so I ask Allah swt to allow my ending ( and yours) to be in a status where He is pleased with me. May Allah swt always protect us and guide us for without His protection and guidance we are truly lost.
